Ok, but surely it needs to be more striking in colour when its blasting down the road, its not all about parking it up and showing your friends,

that's why racing teams pick 'startling livery' for their race cars.

FACT ~ go faster stripes makes all cars go faster...

So no race team has ever had a green livery?

[LordOfTheManor]

Can't really 'remember' and that's my point ! .... the exception to the rule was Lotus back in the years. with their classic black and gold

Ferrari - Red, Mclaren - Orange, Brawn - White and yellow, Alfa Romeo - Red and white, Mercedes - Silver. black and green....... the list goes on

But i haven't forgotten the green of the Aston's at Le Man's which were ''really'' nice too

What colour was Jaguars first F1 car? The 7UP Jordan? Numerous Benettons? And how about we include BRG and go back to Brabham, Vanwall and BRM?

amongst various things I’ve had commented on it, not being striking has not been one

There is/was a green 458/488 GT3 racing - David Perel drove it / German race team from memory

Edit: found it - was a 488

Guys get a grip - yes it is lovely in green and I'm quite happy to go along with everyone else...

If I was able to order one it would have been in white and that's not for everyone

BUT it's still better than green

Couldn’t do that, my 458 is white ...

Bertie, me, JK and a few others on here it seems

So much nicer than red IMHO - this and the grigio/white stripe one at Amari are my favourite Pistas to date

What a stunning car Bertie.

[Lemanandbeyond]

As above stunning, great to see something different and I think the green is very eye catching in a good way. All the little details finish it off really nicely!

Jealous,,,hell yes!

Wonderful to see such a cracking example shared for others to enjoy!

I wouldn't say no to a green one either

Stunning car Bertie - congratulations.

And, er, gentlemen, is green not the quintessential racing livery here in Blighty ..?
